yeah thats true! its been blood sweat and tears for the last 7 years since I realised that that is truly where my heart lies in the airlines and if anything I am probably more motivated now than I was in the middle of the stage ... I just hope that within those 5 years I can get some form of airline related work. sadly it looks like one of those pay to fly schemes is going to be one of the only feasible ways of exercising my stripes!! as history has shown though, its an incredibly dynamic industry and I think it could possibly get a little better 10 years down the line as from what I understand, air force guys are going to get increasingly thinner on the ground as drones are getting phased in for warfare and with the high prices of training combined with ruthless tactics of the employing airlines, there could be a huge void left ... always worth getting straight answers on how hard it is going to be!!
